G A M E SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 634,141, dated October 3, 1899. Application filed January 24, 1899. Serial No. 708,304. (No model.)

To ail whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT THOMAS HENDY, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of Bristol, in the county' of Gloucester, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Games, (for which I have applied for a patent in Great Britain, No. 18,999, dated September 6, 1898,) of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification thereof.

This invention consists of a new or improved game, and the same is carried out as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings for purpose of illustration.

Figure 1 is a plan of a cup or receptacle; Fig. 2, a ring; Fig. 3,, a plan view showing the various parts in position.

I provide a series of cups or receptacles a, having a recess b, in which a marble or gamecounter or other article may be carried. These cups or receptacles a are placed within a boundary or mark, such as that shown by the circle 6 in Fig. 3. This boundary or mark may consist of a chalk line drawn upon any suitable surface, or may be in the event of the game being played in the open air a mark scratched upon the earth or other surface. If required, a circular plate or disk for the purpose of forming the base might be employed, and the game is played as follows:

The players are arranged at the required distancefrom the cups or receptacles and are provided with rings 0 of a suitable cross-seca without dislodging the marble or game= counter or other article (1 carried thereon or removing the cup or receptacle from the boundary-line aforesaid. The player succeeding in this wins, or is entitled to the marble or game-counter or other article carried in the cup or receptacle.

The materials of which the cup or recep= tacle are made may be of any suitable kind, and of course it will be readily seen that the rules for playing the game may be modified as required.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat= cut, is

In a game apparatus, a cup arranged upon a suitable base and a movable game-counter contained therein, said cup being constructed and adapted to be thrown at with a ring and said counter being designed to mark the encircling of a cup by said ring without dislodging the counter therefrom, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 3d day of October, 1898.

HERBERT THOMAS HENDY.
